Description
Here is the SS United States, the fastest ocean liner ever built!

SS United States was built for the United States Lines in the 1950s, and her design made it possible to convert her into a troopship in wartime. Not only was she the largest ocean liner built in the United States, but she is also the fastest ocean liner ever built, and to this day still holds the Blue Riband for fastest transatlantic crossing. She served as a passenger ship until 1969 when the United States Lines went bankrupt and she was put up for sale. Through out her life after being decommissioned, there have been several attempts through the years to preserve her as a museum, and even project reconverting her back into a passenger ship. In 2003, Norwegian Cruise Line attempted to buy the ship and have it sail with their "NCL America" division, but ultimately failed after it was rumored Norwegian would sell her for scrap, which made the "SS United States Conservancy" purchase the ship in 2011 and lay her up in Pier 82 in Philadelphia. In 2016, Crystal Cruises announced a project to refit the ship to join their fleet, but this plan also failed. Today, the SS United States still remains in Philadelphia, with the SS United States Conservancy still doing everything they can preserve United States, one of the last remaining ocean liners still in existence today.

But she won't be for long... in 2024, the United States was evicted from her pier after a rent dispute. With no place to put her, the ship was sold to Okaloosa County, Florida with the idea of sinking her as an artificial reef. She is currently scheduled to be towed to Mobile, Alabama to prepare for scuttling later this year.



Includes a decayed version and a reskinned model based on Norwegian Cruise Line's planned refit. Also includes skins for troopship and alternate colors.


Has bodygroups for rigging, lifeboats, anchors, name, and funnels!


If you want the models to float:

Use Collision Resizer if you want to make it smaller.

Honestly? Big U was cooked as soon as they sold off her interior furnishings. The reef plan is honestly the best ending she can hope for now. She will die as herself, at least. She will not be highway bumpers, she will not be cybertrucks. She'll be SS United States, even if she's under the water instead of floating on it.
